To help Ontarians with diabetes manage their disease, the province has developed several unique programs and services designed to increase access to specialized diabetes treatment and care, including:

Centres for Complex Diabetes Care provide a patient-centered approach to care for people with diabetes and complex health requirements. The centres are designed to help patients manage complex chronic disease. They provide patients with a single point of access to specialist services, while maintaining a relationship with a primary care provider which is critical to proper care and diabetes management.

Diabetes Mobile Outreach Services brings diabetes care and treatment to communities and people facing barriers to accessing health services in nine communities in northern Ontario, including four First Nations communities.

Diabetes Regional Coordination Centres have been established in each of the 14 Local Health Integration Networks to coordinate diabetes care and foster adoption of clinical best practices and standards among providers across the province.

Diabetes Education Teams include one registered nurse and one dietician who work with family doctors and other diabetes care experts to help patients manage their diabetes and avoid diabetes-related health complications. In 2010-11, the ministry increased the number of teams from 220 to 321 across the province.
